Proper Care Lengthens
Life of Brushes, Brooms
Any kind of household brush will
do a bettor job if it is kept clean.
Dust and lint will cling better to fi
bers if they are not already over
loaded. What many homemakers
do not realize is that all fiber
brushes and brooms last longer il
occasionally wetted, for this pre
vents the fibers or broomstraw from
becoming too brittle and breaking i
off.
Plan a once-a-week bath for your
I sweeping and brushing equipment.!
Plunge the brushes and brooms up i
and down in a pail of good warm '
suds (not scalding hot, for this!
might possibly loosen the fastenings
of some types); rinse in fresh warm I
; suds, then in clear water, shake!
well outdoors and hang in the sun to ]
dry.
All kinds of brushes will have a [
longer life if given this treatment— i
the carpet sweeper brush, the i
vacuum brush, stair brush, whisk!
broom, floor broom, clothes and
hair brushes. Remember, though,!
that nylon hair brushes and tooth |
brushes should never be placed in
hot water as this tends to soften
i the bristles. Luke warm water does
j the job for them.

Save Juices
Much of the good flavor and food
value in the juices of meats, fruits
and vegetables can be lost unless
care is used in storage and prepara
tion. 'Vegetables often need freshen
i ing. If soaked in water, especially ■
| after they are peeled or cut, food
value is lost. The better method
is to wash, put in a covered con
tainer, and store in refrigerator. I
Waste of fruit juices can be avoided
by holding juicy fruits like oranges
and cherries over a bowl when slfc
ing or pitting, and by washing ber
ries before, not after hulling. Very
often juice is left in the skins of
citrus fruit when fruit juice is be
ing prepared. Meat juices may be
saved by never soaking meat, poul
try, or fish. If cleaning is needed, it
is usually sufficient to wipe with a
cloth or to rinse. In cooking meat,
include the juices that have run out
during the storage and save fur
ther loss by using moderate heat.
The drippings, not only contain food
value, but help make the gravy
more delicious. Excess fat can be
saved for future cooking or turned
in to salvage.

Dry Suds Effective for > ~~
Cleaning Furniture
Upholstered furniture should come
in for its share of refreshing and
for this job dry suds work like mag
j ic. The method is simple and ef
| fective, and the results satisfactory,
To make the suds, dissolve one
half cup of neutral soap flakes,
J beads, chips or bar soap shaved ir
| small pieces in one quart of hot sofl
I water. To test the soap to see if i1
J is neutral, put a bit of it on youi
j tongue, and if neutral it will not bite
i or sting. When the soap solutior
| has cooled to a jelly-like consisten-
I cy, beat it with a rotary egg beatei
until it looks like cake icing. Wher
| suds die down, rebeat them.
Remove the dust from the uphol
i stered furniture with a vacuum
cleaner or whisk broom. Before
I shampooing the fabric with drj
j suds, test in an inconspicuous place
I to see whether it is washable. I)
so, then apply the dry suds to s
small area with a brush, sponge oi
| cloth. Use a light circular motion.
Scrape off the soiled suds with i
spatula. Rinse with a sponge oi
cloth wrung from clear lukewarm
water using a circular motion. Rinse
several times. Be sure no soap re
i mains in the material. Use as little
I water as possible so that the founda
j tion will not become wet. Worh
quickly and wash a small area at a
time and let each new area overlap
the last one a little. Place furni
ture in an airy place to dry, but not
in the sun. (
